The Fury was detained some time by a quantity of loose ice which had wedged itself in, in such a manner as to leave her no room to move outwards; but she arrived about seven o’clock, when both ships were made fast in the best berths we could find, but they were still excluded from their intended place by the quantity of ice which had fixed itself there.
"Whatever are you saying? It isn’t half-past six o’clock." "I’m not prayin’ about anything," said the old lady. "I don’t pray about things. I do ’em when needful. And when I’m tired I go to bed." "All right, Aunt Mary," with sugary sweetness and lamb-like submissiveness. "I thought we’d dine out together, but if you don’t want to, we needn’t. And if you feel like it when you waken, we can."
On the third day the coxswain said to Will: “I have a message this morning from the lieutenant, that he will be here by eleven o’clock. If you will write a line to your friend I will send it over by one of the men.” Tom arrived breathless two minutes before the officer.
The ceremony of surrendering the city was impressive, and, as can well be imagined, thrilling for those boys of ’98 who had been standing face to face with death in the trenches.

Others, who were younger and less prudent, remained in the streets; for there seems to have been a presentiment that some strange event was on the eve of taking place. Later in the evening, not far from nine o’clock, several young men passed by the town-house, and walked down King Street.

When I whistle throw it over at once.” Before they had time to say more, Moggridge, blood- and gravel-stained, came up. “It’s all right, miss,” he said, coming between them; “I’ll see that he plays no more of ’is tricks.
At two o’clock she had reached the station at Ansbach; at four she arrived in Nuremberg. Carrying her hand-bag, she asked her way to Plobenhof Street at every corner.

I certainly wish you to state in your report that you took the watch over from me just as I left it, and that no sentry had been placed there, as ought certainly to have been done when I came on watch at eight o’clock.” “It is very kind of you, Gilmore, to wish to take the blame upon your own shoulders, but the responsibility is wholly mine.
The revolution was phenomenally successful. When the other troops in the city heard of the revolt, they marched, cheering, through the streets to join the Second Brigade, while the people, who did not dream of what was afoot, looked on in astonishment.
